    Did you know up to 80% of adults in some countries can’t swim? Now, a new program is changing that, empowering adults to conquer their fears and navigate water with confidence. If you’ve ever felt intimidated by water, or think it’s “too late” to learn, this episode is your game-changer.

    Corinna and Memo share groundbreaking insights from their latest survival swim program, designed specifically for adults who want to enjoy water sports, travel, or simply stay safe. They reveal the crucial skills everyone must know—like turning around in a pool, floating on your back, and avoiding panic—and how mastering these can be lifesavers in real emergencies. You’ll discover why relaxing, not panicking, is the key to survival, and how even babies instinctively know how to swim from a few months old.

    Last summer during the 2025 swimming world championships David Popovici turned a LOT of heads. He came home with two gold medals reclaiming his world titles in both the 100 and 200 freestyles while dropping a BLISTERINGLY fast 46.51 in that 100. Popovici was already one of THE swimmers to watch in the world of swimming before but that performance certainly helped to maintain that level of notoriety. Now for the 2026 season we’ve gotten to see Popovici hit the water for the first time and the results looked pretty good, but maybe even more interesting is that Popovici seemed VERY excited by them as well.
